Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was appalled at his lack of professionalism, he stated he had prescribed low dose baby aspirin for me, actually, he never addressed this to my knowledge. His nurse, prior to my seeing the DR., did inform me that he prescribed this for all of his patients, he made no mention, on my previous visit I mentioned I had leg cramps, to the best pf my knowledge. he stated, he, too, had leg cramps & once quinine was a solution but it's no longer prescribed. It was not so much what was stated as him reacting in such an arrogant manner. I have no intentions of seeing a Dr. who is behaves erratically . If, in fact, he did previously prescribe why was it not on "MY CHART".

I have been continually impressed with the attention Dr. Cecil has paid to me and my health issues. On a recent routine office visit my heart rate was 30 beats/min. He showed immediate serious concern, told me I was not going home. He immediately arranged for a pacemaker implant for the next day and walked me to the emergency room of the Covington hospital when he had me admitted. The pacemaker was implanted the next day and all has gone well since. He saved my life!!!

I was first seen in the ER at Rockdale Medical Ctr. complaining of chest pain. Dr. Cecil's practice was on duty and supervised my care for 24 hour observation. After administering all the indicated tests and ensuring that there was nothing wrong with my heart, I was released. My follow-up visit with Dr. Cecil a week later was pleasant and reassuring. I have confidence in his medical acumen, and you could not ask for a more personable physician. Highly recommended.

Dr. Cecil is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met. He listens to my concerns and discusses my treatment options. Having been in the medical field for over 40 years, it is great to know that I have such a skilled and knowledgeable Cardiologist managing my care. I never feel rushed, but always feel that someone genuinely cares.

Dr. Cecil does not take the time to explain medications, conditions to his patients. He is not open to other options to manage conditions. He manages patients as he decides despite their concerns of the prescription of medications with numerous black box warnings. He fails to consult other specialists to further improve the care of his patients when warranted.
